The computer guru of Superior Wisconsin School Districts Technology Department has emailed me. He says that they have saved the citizens of Superior over $10,000 by donating these Apple computers to the Wisconsin bureau of prisons for disposal. I say that their department has lost untold millions of dollars in the lost educational value to the students of the school district by destroying these useable computers. The LMC person was promised 40 computers to replace the Apple computers and only 15 were delivered of which 2 already failed. How does 15 computers replace over 50 Apple Computers ? fuzzy math here. Plus none of the educational software they have will run on the IBM's there is something wrong here.
